Happy Thursday Friends!

What tops savoring vanilla ice cream in a drop top vintage ride coasting down Little Havana?  Rainbow sprinkles duh, I’m not a savage. 

As a creative, (side note: utilizing the right side of my brain to create, construct, dance, or design, makes me feel fully alive), I’ve been in an inspirational funk of sorts.  It can be challenging to create content that inspires without looking like an ad or other trending bloggers.  Admittedly, I feel too old to be doing this at times, but I am quickly reminded why I started. It was to connect with 30-something moms to own motherhood and fashion.  Us moms, we don't always get it right, one day is a win and the next a whirlwind.  

Regardless of where we are in life, we have to learn to be content and love the journey.  Comparison is the thief of joy, we've heard this before, but that’s the idea behind blogging my motherhood journey, moms are not like other people.  We have dirty jeans, messy cars, crazy houses, wild toddlers, unprepared dinners, tons of dry shampoo and sinks filled with dirty dishes - THAT my friends IS a story to tell. It’s important to come back to the basics, your “why” = your most authentic self. 

I’m thankful for friends like Yesi, from Simplylively.com, who inspire me to color outside the lines.  What photographer says, "Let’s go get ice cream,” and pulls me out of my funk, flicking my creative switch. 

Loving these fringe jeans from Topshop.  They are THE comfiest and under $90!

What about these balloon sleeves?! Two trends I’m really digging at the moment and two pieces you must try!

Oh and yes, the rainbow sprinkles topped vanilla – G’s choice, she’s a traditionalist.  

P.S. Thanks to the classic convertible owner for letting us take a spin!

how to wear fur coats

Happy Thursday Friends!

Miami: the one place where you shouldn't wear fur coats, but like I've said before, life is too short to wear boring clothes! Seriously guys, my 30's are so much better than my 20's. I am a risk-taker these days. l love playing dress up and wearing things that I wouldn't typically wear. It's fun! So to answer the question, "How to wear fur coats in Miami ?" The answer is, "You just wear them!"

My one recommendation is to keep it simple with your layering. I chose to wear all black and kept it minimal. I wore this mesh top I got at Zara a few months back, plus my favorite booties and I let the coat be “thee” accent piece.  

Something that has been on my heart the past few weeks has been this idea of "pressing on." No matter where you are in life, or what you may be facing, tomorrow will be better than today. It's so easy to get caught up in the mundane routines of life, leaving us unfocused and hopeless. Just wanted to encourage you to press on, move forward, keep walking, and believe for more.

Bomber jackets: my security blanket since fall of 2016. Honestly, I've had a little bit of issues with buying too many bomber jackets in the past 3 months.  Every time I buy one I say, "No more bomber jackets Geri!" Then, I see a new shade and go for it! I fail every time I say I don't need a new one! ahhh! Honestly, they are just the easiest accessory and piece you could put on this season. Nothing better than matching with my Giuliana. Bomber jackest are cute, but you know what is much cuter? Tiny toddlers bomber jackets! They are just adorable! LOVE this one on G.

PINK ON PINK ON PINK

Happy Tuesday! FIRST post of 2017! Can you believe we are already in 2017? I certainly can't. Do you remember how slow time will pass when you were a child? How one hour felt like an eternity?  Now, as adults we understand the concept of time and NOW we wish we had extra hours in the day. I entered this year determined to appreciate time a little more. Sometimes we wish we had more hours in a day because we are not appreciating and taking full advantage of the moments we are in. One thing I've been doing lately is taking mental pictures of each moment I am in. I look around, take a deep breath and take it all in. Trying to walk a little slower, love a little deeper, and spend more time with those that matter most. Remember, "Lost time is never found again." - BF

Now, lets talk about this pink on pink on pink situation. I truly enjoy dressing up in the same shade of color. Nothing better than looking like one solid crayon. HAHA! We really need to enjoy the times and seasons we are able to do this. (Ladies, the time is now) Try to pair up top and bottom of the same color. Try different textures. It just so much fun. Ive said it before, life is too short to wear boring clothes... Monochromic outfits are life! 

LOVING this sweater and skirt from one of my dearest friends Amanda Tur. She recently launched her store called Fancy Boutique. If you are in the Miami area, YOU should check it out. She has the cutest stuff.
